If Clare Contreras writes it I’m reading it. Always. Just wow. I love the way she can just hook you so quickly. You will never be bored not one bit. Like page turning spice, mystery, tension and pining?! That’s an elite combo. 

The murder mystery was so fun, it kept my mind spinning the whole time. It was just like playing a big game of clue and that was just really fun and engaging. 

I loved the cameos from her previous books that was a great world tie in that I throughly enjoyed. Because I will always want more Lachlan and Lyla always. 

Finn and Josslyn were amazing main characters, I loved reading their povs, they seemed both really fleshed out and had many really sweet moments. So watching their relationship develop was just really fun and felt like a great natural progression. AND THEIR SPICE UGH. They got passion, and banter, it’s just so good. Never settle for anyone who won’t treat you like how Finn Barlow treats Josslyn. 

Thank you so much to Valentine PR and Clare Contreras for the ARC.
